Section What’s Next?
Excellent work! You now have strategies to help students move from curiosity (Module 1) to organized, analyzable data (Module 2). These first two modules provide the foundation for all data science work.
Remember: Data creation and curation skills develop over time through practice. Each investigation your students conduct helps them become more sophisticated in their approach to collecting and organizing information.
In our next module, Analysis and Modeling, we’ll explore how to help students make sense of the data they’ve collected and organized. You’ll learn age-appropriate techniques for identifying patterns, making comparisons, and drawing initial conclusions.
Quick wins to try this week: Choose one simple data collection activity from your action plan and try it with your students. Focus on the planning and organization process!
